Question

(6b+ 2) - (4b + 3)
Help pls I don’t know how to do this

Answer 1

Explanation:

You begin by distributing the negative so -4b -3

then you will multiply (6b+2) by (-4b -3)

24b^2 - 18b - 8b - 6

answer = 24b^2 - 26b - 6

Answer 2

2b - 1

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we will need to open the parentheses. To do this, we will put an imaginary 1 in front of both sets of parentheses to open them using the distributive property, this gives us:

1(6b + 2) - 1(4b + 3)

We will open the first set of parentheses with no problem, but in the second set, we have -1, so we need to make every positive number negative and every negative number positive, giving us:

6b + 2 - 4b - 3

Then, we group our like terms:

6b - 4b + 2 - 3

Then, we subtract, giving us:

2b - 1

So the most simplified version is 2b - 1.

Hope this helped!
